Biork
Deodorant Crystal - 120g - Biork
A completely ecological, 100% natural mineral crystal that is truly UNIQUE as it's the ONLY crystal stick deodorant I have ever seen packaged in cork! What a brilliant idea!
Biork deodorant crystals are made of a natural mineral salt called potassium alum which has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. Potassium alum has been used as a deodorant in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years.
I have exclusively used deodorant crystals since I was a teenager when they were only available as raw rough shaped crystal 'rocks'. I was relieved when they eventually became available shaped with a nice smooth application surface in a conventional plastic deodorant casing.
I can't tell you how thrilled I was when I finally found this totally plastic free option.
These come all the way from Switzerland and I'm excited to be one of only a few shops carrying them in North America.
With daily use 1 should last 6-8 months.
There are so many ways to repurpose and reuse the cork container; cork is particularly suitable for cacti and succulents. Great for kids crayons, jewelry when you're traveling, paperclips in the office. The list is endless!
~WHAT'S TO LOVE:

- No aluminium chloride, aluminium chlorohydrate or other toxins
- Unscented
- Dermatologically tested to prevent skin irritations
- Vegan
- Cruelty free
- Invisible when applied
- Zero residue on clothing

- Tons of ways to repurpose and reuse the cork container
- So easy to apply: wet the top, rub on skin & you're done!
~HOW TO APPLY:
- Super simple: quickly wet the top (I flick it under the tap like wetting my toothbrush) then rub on!
~TIP:
- As you apply, count to 15. This is 100% effective IF you apply enough of it. It's not like conventional roll on deodorant where 4 or 5 swipes in 3 seconds puts a lot of product on. I rub vigorously for the full 15 seconds. It feels like, well, like you're rubbing water off a wet rock under your arm (which you are) and it is magic! There is nothing to see, nothing to smell. Nothing to rub off on your clothes.
~MATERIALS:
Potassium alum crystal, cork, recycled paper label.
